Ratings and reviews

Pretty cool. Expands my laptop's screen to something even bigger than my desktop machine! I don't have to strain my neck and back looking down at the laptop (though probably need a lighter headset to make this a meaningful change!). EDIT: The curved screen option is a great addition! A few more FPS would make it even easier to use.

Please add support for importing viewer settings from Cardboard API (this isn't related to orientation provider). The sliders you got for distances don't seem to work as intended with my plain old cardboard. I also recommend looking into using the camera for orientation calculations. I'd buy the full version if it offered better performance but tempted to buy it just to support the development if it's still active.

Alas, this would be great if a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse could be used to control it, but the mouse just sits over the top meaning you have to use your head for it, and the Bluetooth keyboard doesn't input. Otherwise this would be a great companion to my Debian installation on termux.
